A Masterpiece!
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
The worst comedy movie ever with typical cheesy american humor. Don't ever put Dwayne Johnson in a comedy movie agian! Period! Me and my girlriend literally felt a sleep in the last 20 minutes of the movie in the cinema...
The advertising banner for this film - "A little Hart and a big Johnson" - is both clever and funny, and suits this action comedy.1996 saw Calvin Joyner as the big star of his year at High School, and voted Most Likely To Succeed. It also saw fat nerd loner Robbie Wierdicht humiliated when bullies throw him, naked, into the final assembly: the student populace laughs at him, but Calvin compassionately lends him a jacket. 20 years later, Calvin has married his high school sweetheart and Homecoming Queen, but finds himself in a boring job as an accountant. When a Bob Stone contacts him for a get together on the eve of the school reunion, Calvin is surprised to discover that the fat nerd has changed his name and become superfit. He is even more surprised to discover that Stone appears to be a rogue CIA agent, especially when he becomes involved, very much against his will, in a caper which is fraught with danger.The chemistry between Kevin Hart as Calvin and Dwayne Johnson as Bob is very effective, as is borne out by the very funny outtakes which accompany the closing credits. Importantly, notwithstanding a couple of inconsistencies in Bob's motivations and behaviour, both characters are fairly believable: Calvin never goes over the top in writing or delivery, and Hart is commendably restrained.The story, though familiar, is quite strong, and provides excitement of its own as well as a good vehicle for the action, humour and character moments. There are laugh-out-loud moments in this - there is a role-play scene in particular which had the audience in my cinema all laughing, not to mention the taser moments - and the film is just plain likeable.There are two cameos which work well, the supporting cast are all fine, and the two principals have fun and perform well.In a film which is fairly clear of toilet humour, sex, and innuendo, there is a single "f*ck" included, as seems to be the fashion, because F*ck. I find this really annoying, because it adds nothing.That aside, this is an enjoyable buddy movie with some good laughs.
Was so Excited because there were two popular actors working together but all the more reason for its downfall. The movie had no proper plot, and the plot was very poor. There wasn't much action as I expected however a plus for this movie would be there are some hints of comedy but still I had very high expectations with this movie and this was a huge disappointment. Dwayne Johnson is on a trend of just creating movies with the most cliche plots making them lacklustre.
This is the shittiest, worst written f*cking piece of script(i hope i get sued for calling it that)in the history of bad movies.The only good thing about this movie, besides that it ended without leading to me committing suicide, is Aaron Paul saving the whole damn movie by saying only one f*cking word-'bit*h'!!!Seriously, he should have said that in the beginning and the movie should have stopped dead in it's tracks and it would have won a f*cking Oscar.But no, they had to stretch it out like a 70 year-old pair of tits.
